This quilt has been a long time in the making process. The hexies come from an aunt of mine who passed away years ago. My uncle asked me if I would like a bag of her 'scraps' Would I heck?? There was actually a couple of bin bags and an old hat box with all the hexies templated and colour sorted ready for sewing together. Over the years I have used them for lots of projects. These were put together by my daughter while they were staying with us waiting for their date to go to SA and begin their ministry. The blocks then spent a few years in a bag in my cupboard until I got around to making them into a quilt. I added the binding this week and there it is...finished and ready for my daughter to take back to SA after her visit to us next week

What a treasure!!! You will have such fond memories each time you look at that beautiful quilt.
What a great idea. I have a rather ragged hexie quilt made 20 + years ago from Laura Ashley fabrics and have been wondering what to do with it - sadly made entirely by hand - so lots of unpicking! The white sets it off beautifully. Lovely quilt. xx
Really pretty Lindsey - I love that it has been so long in the making x
Very nice - such a lot of work. Good on you!
Beautiful workmanship!
Oh, so beautiful! It turned out so nice! You must be so happy :)
